• Difficult and usually cumbersome, if not
almost inconclusive to establish who is at
fault when an M&E failure occurs
• Only rarely is there a fatality (or even
casualty) and even then it is more likely to
be established to be due to human error
(operational fault)
• Therefore, it is not surprising to perceive
that M&E failures are not prevalent,
including in our local industry
• Does not mean that the nation should be at
ease with our track record because whilst
injury and lives may not be at stake,
unnecessary monetary losses can affect our
national economy and progress
